This is a duplicate of #905 even though they may have been requested for
different reasons. Please lets not scatter several discussions across duplicate
issues. #905 is older, has quite a few :+1: s and only has 6 comments including
one misunderstanding the request and one saying "patches
In particular see the "instant save" part of autosave plugin.

I'm not sure #905 is the same thing, its more about preserving state of files
and sessions in an unexpected occurrence and _not_ being annoyed by checks to
not save untitled scratch files (its got lots of stuff mixed in together).
But this is about preserving unnamed editing tab contents in

@codebrainz Yes, looks like a duplicate. @elextr Since multiple users are
asking for it, are we still looking for a plugin (which seems to not exist), or
could we implement it as core feature using a Pull Request?
I will close this issue in favor of continuing the discussion in #905.

I see, so changing the naming behaviour can be risky.

FWIW, the weirdness with new untitled files not opening sometimes is explained
in #2656.
I believe this issue is a duplicate of #905, and should be closed as such, with
further discussion on the already existing issue as to not bifurcate it.

A good point, and as you say it should be independent of any choosing of
autosave settings, but as @kugel- noted, the general context is suitable for
that plugin (and its way easier to extend an existing plugin than to
I had now a look into the builtin plugin `Save Actions`. I think the asked
feature could fit into this plugin; however it seems, it would need an
additional tab because it is a very different approach. I for instance do not
wish any autosaving of already existing, opened files, I only want that

To expand somewhat. All IDEs today do things by plugin, there are too many
languages, use-cases, special cases, features etc to put them in core,
especially for an IDE that makes at least a token effort to stay "small and
lightweight".

Okay! What are the general reasons for when it is better to make a plugin
instead of a core feature? E.g. there
Its not something that appears to be vastly desired or needed in the core since
this is the first time its been asked for, so it should be in a plugin, at

I think it would make sense to enhance the autosave plugin to do this.

Why not as a native feature via Pull Request?

What about a native feature which
1. changes the naming behaviour from `untitled, untitled, ...` to `untitled 1,
untitled 2, ...`, and
2. keeps all those files opened in the editor after restart, without being
forced to save them on disk.
**Reason**
People may use these untitled files just
No, files only exist if saved, and the only way to keep content when Geany is
closed is to save it in a file.
Note that `Preferences->Various->interface.new_document_after_close` controls
if new `untitled`s get made or only one as @codebrainz noted.
